Hi there

At present actinic will only allow you to attach 1 image. If you would like more than one image, then why not combine the images together, so they become one?

Kind Regards

In fact, i thought the description text area allow us to type <img src..etc> thus, this allow to add additional image. Yya.. thank you for the suggestion of combining all into one pic. Neevertheles, can there raelly oni be one image!?

A customer has added a second product image in THIS THREAD

In his case, he has his second product image opening a pop-up window when customers click on it - so you may want to not include this part of the functionality.

i would have thought that if the actinic image you used was called "pie.jpg" and you had <img src="NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGE"> in your popup.
and if you named your other three images pie_2.jpg, pie_3.jpg, pie_4.jpg then you could simply do <img src="NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGE_2.jpg"> to display image two?

or sumit along the lines of that, hope it made sense and that it helped but i didnt have time to check it...

but the problem is that..when i try to insert the code "<img src...etc" it turns out displaying as text and not image. Thus, my idea of putting one more image in the text(textarea) couldn't work? Is it true classix?

I'm not sure that suggestion would work as you would get the image name being inserted as

pie.jpg_2.jpg

Ron - here is a definitive solution to your issue. Get ready...

1) Go to 'Advanced | Custom Properties' and create a new custom property called 'Image2'. Set the 'Type' to 'Text'.

2) Go into one of your products, where you want a second product image, and go to the 'Properties' tab. Add a new row to the grid and in the 'Property' field, select 'Image2'.

3) In the 'Value' field enter the name of the image you want as the second image. This image should be in your 'Site1' folder.

4) Select 'Use as CUSTOMVAR' and 'File Name'

5) Switch to the 'Extended Information' tab and click 'Edit' next to the 'Layout' field.

Note: If the 'Edit' button is greyed out (and the 'Layout' field says 'Use Parent') then the pop-up window is using the default Extended Info Page Layout as defined in 'Design | Options | Layouts'. Go to this tab and click 'Edit' next to the 'Default Page Layout' field AT THE BOTTOM.

6) Insert the following HTML in the Extended Info Page template just under where it says...

<img src="NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGE" width=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEWIDTH height=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEHEIGHT>

<img src="CUSTOMVAR:IMAGE2">

7) Save your template and close it.

8) Go to 'Design | Options | Site Defaults' and in the 'Properties' grid, create a new row with
Property: Image2
Value: shim.gif
Use as CUSTOMVAR: Ticked
File Name: Ticked

This just provides a default 1x1 transparent image for the second images for any products with pop-up windows but no value for 'Image2' explicitly defined.

Hi,

Firstly i have quite a few things misssing. I couldn't find the Customvar Checkbox. Then, i couldn't set the Type to Text because i dont have a textfield that says "Type". There's Only Property, Value, Custom Property Name, File Name(CheckBox), Use File Content (CheckBox) from the "product Details".

Btw, If i were to replace the (Netquotevar:Infoimage) to (Netquotevar:Image2), from the default Extended information, does it mean that only those who have the property tab added image2, would take effect? becuase i was thinking that the "netquotevar:infoimage" (Main Pop-out image) would disappear if i were to change the Entire default Extended info layout?

Thanks for the reply!

Best Regards,
Sweee

Apologies. You are using Actinic Catalog - I gave you instructions for Actinic Business. Ignore references to the 'Text' field or 'Use as CUSTOMVAR' as you won't have to select them.

You have read my instructions wrong.

Firstly, it is not NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGE2, it is
<img src="CUSTOMVAR:IMAGE2">
you need to include into the template.

Secondly, my instructions are to add an extra image into the pop-up window for any products where you specify a value for 'Image2' in the 'Properties' tab. It assumes you are using the same Extended Information Page Layout Template for the entire store. If you are using any alternative Extended Information Page Layout Templates for specific products then you need to make the change I suggest to these templates as well.

Hi,

Okie so at this Template: Act_ExtendedinfoImageAbove.html? and the position shown below right?

<td align="center" valign="top"><img src="NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGE" width=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEWIDTH height=NETQUOTEVAR:INFOIMAGEHEIGHT> (HERE)
</td>

But what is the Shim.gif? why do you add shim.gif? then weren't it replace any of the image you put dynamically on the individual product? i have followed almost all of the instruction except the shim? Do i have this shim.gif in my site1 folder? i dont right?

2nd problem.
Oh, theres oso a problem i have, becuase i have added "img src" into the text of the product detail then they always prompt me error msg.N seriously, i have forgotten which is the product that i have written the "img src"..how can i find it out?! If not,eevery half way of the uploading session, they always give me this msg.

Yes - that is the point to enter the code I have given you for the second product image.

Shim.gif is a tiny 1x1 pixel transparent graphic. If you don't have it in your 'Site1' folder you can find it in '\Actinic Ecommerce v6\Formats\themes\Business'. Copy it from here and paste it into your 'Site1' folder.

You need to set the value of 'Image2' to 'shim.gif' otherwise any products with pop-up windows where you have not specified a value for 'Image2' will have the following code in the generated HTML:

<img src="">

This will generate a 'Missing Image' icon (square with red cross in it) in your customer's browsers.

Setting the value of 'Image2' to 'shim.gif' in 'Design | Options' means any products with pop-up windows where you have not specified a value for 'Image2' will have the following code in the generated HTML:

<img src="shim.gif">

Which will keem the browser happy.

Please look at this knowledge base article which describes your problem. It is not a simple fix so I suggest you just live with the error.
